The Mega Millions $418 million jackpot would be the fourth largest and the $460 million Powerball jackpot would be the seventh largest in the game's history. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Unfortunately, none of us are billionaires this morning. There was no winner for last night’s mega 1.2 billion dollar Powerball jackpot. The winning numbers drawn were 2, 11, 22, 35 and 60 with the powerball number being 23. There have been 39 consecutive Powerball drawings since August with no winner, growing the jackpot to one of the largest in U.S. history. The record is a $1.586 billion Powerball grand prize shared by winners in California, Florida and Tennessee in January 2016. With the jackpot not being claimed last night, that means the next drawing, which takes place Saturday night, will be an estimated 1.5 billion dollars.
Although there was no winner of the grand jackpot, there were some winners of “smaller” cash prizes. Three of which are in Massachusetts. Nantucket sold a $100,00 ticket and Peabody and Canton each sold one $50,000 ticket. If you purchased any tickets in these towns, CHECK THEM.
